Columbia's Three-Game Losing Run Meets a Double-Digit Home Price Against Stonehill

Columbia hosts Stonehill at Levien Gymnasium on Monday at 7:00 PM ET as a 10.5-point favourite, with a moneyline of -717 against +435 for the Skyhawks. Stonehill is a clear underdog. The central question is whether a team with a recent losing run deserves that kind of price, and the evidence for answering it is thin. These teams have not met in the last 400 days, so no recent head-to-head anchors either side.

Columbia's streak stands out: three straight losses overall. That sits awkwardly with a report from Thursday saying Josh Pratt's 14 points helped Columbia beat SUNY-Old Westbury 120-58. The two items do not line up cleanly, so neither should carry much weight. If the streak is accurate, it is the only negative form note in the picture and cuts against the confidence in Columbia's price. A streak describes what has happened; it does not predict tonight.

The rotation numbers cover only the last two games, which makes them weak evidence. Stonehill's most-used guard, Trenton Ruth, plays 30.5 minutes but scores 7.5 points per game, while Jack Medalie produces 15 points per game in 24 minutes and Anquan Boldin Jr adds 12. Stonehill's Eli Greenberg scores 10 points per game in 23 minutes. Columbia's scoring is spread across Pratt at 14 points per game, Gerard O'Keefe at 13 and Connor Igoe at 11.5, while Hampton Sanders leads the team in minutes at 24 and scores 6.5 points per game. Michael Madueme plays 22 minutes at 3.5 points per game, so heavy minutes do not always mean heavy scoring there. Both teams run balanced, guard-heavy groups, and nothing in those samples separates them.

The market has not moved at all. Columbia opened at -10.5 and is still -10.5, with both sides priced at -114. The total opened at 147.5 and remains there, Over -110 and Under -110, so the total shows no preference either way. The moneyline is unchanged. With no movement, there is nothing to read into how the number has travelled. Books were comfortable making Columbia a double-digit favourite despite the losing run.

Neither team reports an injury, so no absence reshapes the matchup. The game is indoors, so conditions are not a factor.

Taken together, the one firm piece of evidence is the price: a double-digit home favourite set and held. The streak points against Columbia, the pricing points toward it, and the two-game rotation samples are too small to break the tie. Anyone weighing this game is working mostly from price and a small recent sample.
